0 <br />attendees identified issues needing resolution under a separation scenario, and clarified or <br />resolved those issues as follows: <br />The name <br />The incorporated group readily agreed to dissolve within three weeks from today the <br />organization they had created under the name, Hillsborough Farmers' Market, including <br />the "d/b/a" registered with the Orange County Register of Deeds and the corporation <br />registered with the NC Secretary of State. <br />Ms. Steffan will provide to Mr. Goodrum by the end of this week language to include in <br />the articles of dissolution to ensure that another group can make use of the name <br />immediately. Mr. Goodrum will include that language . <br />Mr. Goodrum will send the stamped copies of the articles of dissolution and the <br />withdrawal of the Certificate of Assumed Name as soon as they are returned to him from <br />the Secretary of State and the Register of Deeds, respectively, so that Ms. Steffan will be <br />notified right away that these tasks have been completed. <br />Answering customer inquiries <br />All meeting participants seek "to take the high road" with respect to how they <br />communicate to the community about the resolution of these issues. The general <br />principle to follow will be to speak only about one's own organization, and not about the <br />other. For example, the unincorporated group can say, "We are the Hillsborough <br />Farmers' Market, and we will continue to meet the community's needs." Both groups <br />can acknowledge that the two groups have differences in philosophy about how a <br />farmers' market should be operated, especially around leadership and management. <br />Answering inquiries from news media <br />The meeting attendees agreed to use the following statement in response to inquiries from <br />the news media, if any response is to be provided at all (some group members may <br />choose not to respond): <br />"The meeting convened at approximately 9:30 AM and adjourned at <br />approximately 2:15 PM.
